Your Lines Are Wrong, Aren't They?
Redscale City.
A huge open-air Training Ground.
Click.
After a brief moment of surprise.
Ulysses exerted a sudden force, crushing the barbell handle in his hand.
He looked down at the fallen barbell, then tilted his head back and let out a wild, unrestrained laugh.
"Hahaha! Good! What a great Monster Hunter!!"
"Is this the Architect of Nine Provinces? Is this the dungeon of Nine Provinces? No wonder they were able to win the arena!"
"I love it! I love this dungeon!"
"There are no fancy tricks, only pure clashes of flesh and skill, fighting alone against the Deity- like Calamity beasts—that's true combat! That's the romance of the strong!"
He stared at the system projection, his eyes burning with an unprecedentedly fierce fighting spirit. Then he suddenly turned around, threw the towel hard on the ground, and shouted in a booming voice, "Someone! Get all players with a sequence level above 30 over here! As soon as this dungeon opens, we'll clear it immediately! We'll clear it within a day!"
And another thing! All the Architect here are useless! Every single one of them! They are all!!
Hold their heads down! Make them watch the trailer! And then they all have to complete the game!!!

At the same time.
Franca.
The spacious office.
Rosalind's Fox Ears stood up even higher, and her beautiful, deep blue eyes seemed to still reflect the lingering light and shadow.
Your Highness----
The Guard standing nearby couldn't help but swallow hard. "This... is this the skill of that Architect from Nine Provinces?"
Rosalind didn't reply, nor did she even hear what the Guard said. She just muttered to herself, "To think a civilian dungeon could be built like this, truly amazing—I believe Liana now, this is definitely not Architect who can be selected through the rigorous selection process—"
Furthermore, the promotional video is being played in Franca, which proves that the system fully recognizes the quality of the instance as matching the promotional video—this is outrageous, perhaps I really have to sell myself—sacrifice my charm."
Your Highness?
The Guard called out.
Rosalind snapped back to reality.
What am I thinking?
She coughed, and to divert attention from the awkwardness, said directly, "Indeed impressive. Go and notify the Royal Knights to gather all the players with the highest ranks! As soon as the dungeon opens, we'll enter it immediately."
Since the system specifically mentioned the rewards, the drop rate of stat reset items, class Profession Certificate, and equipment should be quite high when this dungeon is first launched, for promotional purposes. However, it's hard to say what will happen later.
Let's try to clear the dungeon on its first day of release.
After speaking, she paused and added, "Also, please make arrangements for me. I want to be among the first to enter the dungeon; I want to experience the Nine Provinces dungeon properly."
at the same time.
At the very center of this storm.
Nine Provinces Forum.
It was even more lively.
[Aaaaaaah! Lu Xiu! Did you have to make yourself look so cool?!]
[Did you guys see that?! That weapon called a katana! That flying move! It's so cool! It gave me goosebumps!]
[Lu Xiu seems to have a thing for dragons lately— Midir was outrageous enough, but the new dungeon is even more absurd, it's all dragons! Does she like them that much? Isn't she supposed to be a beautiful girl? This doesn't make sense, does it?]
[Mind your own business! I like pretty girls! I like dragons too!]
[As expected, Lu Xiu never disappoints—I just wonder how many people will be able to complete this multiplayer dungeon together; I'm really looking forward to it!]
[Don't stop me, I'm going to the New World! The Research Commission has been waiting for me, a legendary Hunter, for a whole week, how can I let them down?! Here I come! So when is the dungeon going live?]
[Reset item! Profession Certificate! It's clearly stated at the end! The new Lu Xiu dungeon will be released! Finally, there's hope!!]
Brothers, charge! To the New World! To become legendary Hunter!
[Seriously, buddy, aren't you afraid of it being incredibly difficult? Even though the promotional video was undeniably smooth and cool.]
[Screw it! This isn't a one-on-one fight! A few people can't beat us, right? I'm ready to show off in front of my teammates!]
[----]
Players in Nine Provinces were all caught up in a frenzy of celebration and excitement.
Watching the Hunter' fluid and smooth movements in the promotional video, and seeing the Astera survival seemed effortless, almost every player felt a strong sense of unease—
Once I get inside and get the weapon, I'll be the invincible Sapphire Star from the promotional video!
Moreover, it's not just ordinary players who think this way.
Coordination Bureau.
Wei Yidong, Cheng Xiu, Fan Lixin, and other top players from the Strategy Group were also watching the projection.
And after the promotional video ended...
"The instance is open! I'm going in right away."
Wei Yidong jumped to his feet, drawing everyone's attention, and shouted, "I'm going to avenge myself! I'll solo Lu Xiu's dungeon! You can call me a nobody! I don't care! But if several people gang up on me, you should call me a top player!!!"
Others:
At the same time.
Lu Xiu was unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
Actually, the promotional video was evaluated over a period of time.
She spent this time verifying the completion of the dungeon, and also took breaks during that period.
Monster Hunter is even more outrageous than Dark Souls; you really can't just brute force it.
And just as the promotional video was playing, she entered the dungeon again.
now.
She has already unleashed the Ruiner Nergigante.
Yes.
In the end, Lu Xiu acted like a human being and didn't actually create the Dire Miralis, causing all the players to swim in boiling water.
But the Iceborne has been added.
to be honest.
Without the G-rank, or Master Rank Quest, it's definitely not complete.
"Call----"
Lu Xiu stood beside the corpse of the Ruiner Nergigante. A sliver of golden sunlight broke through the thick clouds above her head, illuminating the ravaged battlefield.
She tilted her head back and let out a long sigh.
At this moment.
Master Wilderness and his Hunter partner, the receptionist who had accompanied the Hunter on his investigation, came running over, panting.
"My lord, your hunting speed has increased again! You even took down the Ruiner Nergigante in such a short time, that's amazing!"
As soon as the receptionist ran over, he clasped his hands to his chest and began to sincerely praise her.
Meanwhile, Master Yuanye's expression was somewhat... indescribable.
She stepped forward, patted Lu Xiu's arm, and said earnestly, "Please remember this: no matter how strong you are, never exterminate the monsters. Species extinction is absolutely unacceptable."
Lu Xiu: "----"
The way we address each other has started to sound strange!
Wasn't the receptionist set up to call any player a partner?
Why are you calling me "adult" now?
That's not right at all!
And the lines are wrong too!
She remembered that her setup here was that the host would run over to ask if the Hunter was injured, while the Wilderness Master would tell the Hunter to rest well!
How did it turn out like this?!
Even the cat's eyes look strange!
She wanted to complain halfway through the process!
All I did was hit a little too fast!
However, it was clear that neither of the two NPCs paid any attention to Lu Xiu's expression.
Soon, Master Yuanye began to look around.
At the same time.
A strange sound rang out.
It sounds a bit like singing.
The final boss is about to appear.
As the song began, my feet started to sway.
The earth shook violently.
Immediately afterwards.
Suddenly, the mountain peak on the side exploded, and as a giant rock arm crashed down, the ground began to collapse.
"This is----"
Master Yuanye was shocked by what he saw, then abruptly turned to Lu Xiu: "This place is yours! We're retreating!"
That's all.
Go back directly.
Lu Xiu: "???"
ha?
Shouldn't you be telling me not to take risks, to retreat, and then let me show off?! What do you mean by saying you'll leave it to me???
Lu Xiu hadn't reacted yet.
Let's go!
The receptionist ran to Master Yuanye's side, maintaining her running posture. "Leave this to you, sir. I've watched you come all this way, and I'm sure you can do it!"
That's the strongest Hunter, as radiant as the sun!
"Good!"
Master Yuanye nodded without even hearing what was said, then shouted to Lu Xiu, "Then you go and witness it for yourself!"
Lu Xiu:
So!
The dialogue is completely wrong!
soon.
The two disappeared without a trace.
The ground beneath her feet completely collapsed.
Lu Xiu sighed and stopped struggling.
Never mind!
Let's fight!
Anyway, this is the last monster.
As for the Fatalis, that is Fatalis.
Although Lu Xiu also constructed one, she set it up so that the monsters were not necessary to complete the game, and she also adjusted the order of the tasks.
She's already raised her eyebrows.
Now, what lies before us is the final boss we must defeat to complete the game.
The Shara Ishvalda.
It didn't take long.
--
With a mournful cry, the massive body collapsed with a crash, raising clouds of dust.
The Shara Ishvalda.
Successful conquest!
Lu Xiu casually flicked the blood off the weapon and slung it back over her shoulder.
He hadn't even caught his breath.
Accompanied by a series of extremely noisy footsteps and cheers, a bunch of NPCs who had been hiding somewhere suddenly popped out.
What Commander, Dragonian Hunter, Leader, wilderness master, and the host who just ran away----
"Well done, Sapphire Star!"
"As expected of our Fifth Fleet's ace!"
"That's incredible! It's a miracle!"
"As expected! You are the strongest Hunter who guides us forward!"
A group of people quickly surrounded Lu Xiu and began pointing and whispering.
Lu Xiu was too tired to even complain anymore.
If it doesn't match, it doesn't match.
She ignored them, because she had already cleared the dungeon.
But unexpectedly, the first thing that popped up this time was not the usual settlement interface.
[congratulations.]
[You have successfully completed the dungeon.]
[Architect level has reached level 10, and can now pre-place dungeons.]
[Once pre-placed, the instance can be launched immediately.]
Immediately afterward, before Lu Xiu could react, a holographic map of Nine Provinces radiating a soft light slowly unfolded in front of her.
"----Pre-placed?"
Lu Xiu looked at the detailed map in front of her and raised an eyebrow.
